    Good find, with factory air con too. Once lowered they have a great stance, and of course they handle. Your monaro look's very nice, and that would be one of the best WB's I have seen.

    Cheers.

    That isn't totally true Robbo. HZ's actually handle optimally at close to original ride height. If you use lowering stubs you keep the original geometry so they are just as good lowered then as original. But if you use springs that are too low you affect the front suspension geometry too much. In my experience it is only noticable on HZ and WB, HQ-HX handle so bad standard that any change can be better! When you think how much expemse GMH went to to get the HZ to steer properly and think that any of us can improve it by altering the geometry radically it becomes pretty clear.

    Is full roof lining standard in the HZ vans?
    Looks like it's been there a while.

    It is amazing how good the bodies are on cars from that area. Every car we've got from that area have no rust. So far we've found my yellow GTS327, the yellow 307 HK GTS, a HQ Sandman van and a HZ Sandman van. All have been near perfect rust wise.
